<div>I tried that previously. It does remove the frequency, but if you go through the keypad and program that memory slot with a new frequency, it will keep the old "name" that war originally in that memory location. <br/>

<br/>
If you don't want a channel in the radio, you don't program it. Using <br/>
you example of channel 0, 3 and 4, here is what you do. <br/>
<br/>
1. Click on any memory Loc number to highlight that row <br/>
2. Press Ctrl-A to highlight all 128 memory rows <br/>
3. Ctrl-click on row 0 to un-highlight it. Repeat for rows 3 and 4. <br/>
4. Press the Delete key to erase all data from the highlighted rows <br/>
(all except 0, 3 and 4) <br/>
4. Upload to your radio. <br/>
